Ranked Conquest
- Trio Queue Ranked Matchmaking Update
- Ranked matchmaking imposes a hard limit on the SR range in a match that expands over time. The longer a player waits, the wider the range possible.
- Trio queue is healthy for the top end of the Ranked funnel, and brings in many new Ranked players, but under the standard set of Ranked matchmaking rules created undesirable outcomes, especially with top Ranked players.
- Note: we are working towards future technical ability to limit party sizes based on player SR and that may follow in a future patch.
- Moving forward, we will treat Solo or Duo queueing as “Standard” Ranked queueing, and Trio queueing under its own set of rules.
- Parties of size 3 will be evaluated based on the maximum SR of their party (as opposed to average SR with Duos)
- Parties of size 3 will be hard limited to a range of 1,000 SR, capping at 5,000 SR
- This means parties of size 3 can incur indefinite wait times in Ranked if no viable match exists
- This will be based on the maximum SR of party members on the opposing team as well
- 311v2111 was removed from the viable matchmaking pool in Ranked
- Skill Rating (SR) Post Match Adjustment Update
- A bug resulting in players gaining or losing an incorrect amount of SR based on quality of opposition was discovered, and fixed.
- This resulted in many nonsensical feeling adjustments post match.
- Skill Rating adjustment now factors quality of opposition much more heavily
- Regional Ranked Update
- A few regions which previously had minimal restrictions placed on their Ranked matchmaking will have slight adjustments made due to increased Ranked population, but will be monitored closely. These regions are:
- Backfill disabled in Ranked
- Backfill as a system was causing near-random placements of players into Ranked matches after a player failed to connect to the initial lobby
- For probably obvious reasons, this was disabled until further work can be completed on the system
Matchmaking
- Team Balancing update
- Discrepancies with how teams were balanced was uncovered, and the first potential fix is being implemented, but work will continue on this front
- Examples of this issue previously looked like matches where one or two player swaps made logical sense to create a more balanced match state
- This incoming fix affects both Casual and Ranked matchmaking

- The Target Dummy has 0 base Protections
